breaking the girl code ?? wtf

[paintinmyhairAgain]

have seen this expression a lot recently, are the users under 13. surely it's not relevant to apply to a woman. yet another shite expression doing the rounds,

what expressions give you the rage ?

I had t heard that phrase until on MN

HOWEVER myself and my friends growing up, indeed my friends now have a moral compass that includes not screwing over women. Be it your friend or somrbe you don’t know. Man is married = no go. Man has a girlfriend = no go. Man is ex of a friend = no go.

I have had moral conversations with my daughters (late teen/early 20’s) and advise them accordingly. We don’t have a name for it rather, would you find it acceptable if someone did x, y, z to you, if not, don’t do to them.

Making sure we are all “singing from the same song sheet”. Usually said at work by our boss.....
Or “let’s do some blue sky thinking....”

It’s a hideous phrase but, I think it’s sentiment is in the right place.

For me, it’s scummy things like dating best friends ex’s & the like

I quite like “ girl code” but I think it’s only used in circles where finding a man is ranked as important.
I’ve only heard it used negatively to point out where other women are going wrong. ie immediately going out with someone your friend has just broken up with, getting off with someone you know your friend likes more etc.
Sadly I think if you use girl code it probably means you have the sort of friends that need it.

Oh, and when did that traditional English staple Macaroni Cheese become Mac n Cheese?

Yeah I’ve wondered this. Mac n cheese is an American thing and I don’t even think it’s made the same?

Sorry, read boulednegie post and this too we discuss. Very important for our daughters

People who 'turn around' every time they speak. 'I turned around and said...' or 'then she turned around and said....'

I get images of these people struggling to have conversations at all due to all the turning round.

'Apoplectic' or 'incandescent' with rage. Usually over something very minor.

'Makes my teeth itch'

'Fuming'

I think mine is really about people being dramatic rather than the actual phrases.

"Oh my days". I can't bear that nonsensical phrase!
My bad 🤬🤬

"It is what it is"

No shit.

SO!
Why is it at the beginning of a sentence?! It doesn’t belong there. It serves no purpose. It makes you sound like a YouTuber about to offer up one of their portentous (but actually pointless) confessionals. I have lost all sense of proportion about this but I want to punch people who start sentences with ‘So’.

I hate "on trend" so much. I'm not sure why but it makes me want to growl under my breath every time I read/hear it.

‘Largely’ when did this become an acceptable adverb? What was wrong with ‘mostly’. ParticulArly overused in weather forecasts e.g. it will be largely dry in the east.

Overuse of the word like. Don’t they teach adjectives in school anymore?

I’m probably being unkind but I dislike it when I ask someone how they are and they reply, ‘I’m good’ anything other than this, I’m well or really well thank you or I’m not doing so great seems to grate less on me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Myself used instead of me or I and yourself instead of you.

So this happened... with indecipherable pic underneath.

Or so it begins...

If I see anyone posting about “girl-code” I automatically assume they are 14 years old or under.

What is famalam?! I hate it already but I've no idea what it means.

I quite like 'oh my days'. Very popular with the youth in my neck of the woods but it makes them sound like my gran.

Corporate speak is my pet hate. "Let me socialise that thought with you"... Yuk.

Rant over, or worse, rant over lol.

As if the full stop at the end of the ranty paragraph wasn't indication enough.

Yes GetOff It seems to be used by almost everyone of a certain age nowadays.

A totally unnnecessary pronoun.

Anything unnecessarily cutesy.
Famalam
Bubba, bubs
Hubby, hubs
Wifey
When people describe themselves as Mama bear or similar - ugh!!!

When someone nouns a verb or verbs a noun.

EG "I'll send you an invite"
No you won't. You'll invite me by sending an invitation.

EG "This gives me the happy"
No it doesn't. It gives you happiness or makes you happy.
(Particularly annoying on FB when you then get a bunch of comments going "YAY all of the happy" and "I has the happy too!"
Bitch, you're 40, knock it off.)

I hate hate when people say "I'm not being funny but"

my friends now have a moral compass - I'd never heard that until Gordon Brown discovered his. What does it actually mean? Are you supposed to head north or is any direction OK?

"Absolutely" instead of "yes", especially in radio interviews.
"I'm good" - "no, you're not good. You may be well, but good is the last word I'd use to describe you". So far I've resisted saying this to DS!

"went" to mean "said" "She went... then I went... then she went..."

Reaching out now has a new friend - circling back. Said to me this week.
